"Is not possible to do a single album from two big albums like Use Your Illusion I & II. It seems something like the Greatest Hits compilation of sevaeral years ago... Very commercial!"  Reply

"This E.P. was my first introduction to Aphex Twin. I'd never heard anything like it before and instantly loved it. The opening track is the most famous, but my least favorite. Faves: Flim, IZ-US.."  Reply

"Deerhunter always explores a new sound with each release. This time, it feels a lot more baroque pop and somewhat psychedelic. There's probably some influences from Tame Impala's "Lonerism" and Flaming Lips' "The Soft Bulletin." It all feels very Deerhunter nonetheless. There's a lot going on in ..."  [+]  Reply

"One of the great exits, and one of the great album sides. Side One goes on way too long, but Side Two is perfect. Great live version of the blues standard, "Sitting On Top of the World," followed by the Clapton/Harrison gem, "Badge," followed by two psychedelic masterpieces, "Doing That Scrapyard..."  [+]  Reply

""Good morning little schoolgirl, can I come home with you?" "...sir" "Tell your mama and your papa I'm a little schoolboy too" "sir, please step away from the girl" That's it for a Gen Z-ers interpretation of '60s blues rock. Other than that, I quite enjoy the simplistic blues rock songs with a h..."  [+]  Reply

"So many songs connect in a way that's unexpected for an artist that though aware of I hadn't fallen head over heels for before. My grandpa is the greatest role model of man in my life. He used to live on the streets, trough construction work he managed to make a life for himself. He never learned..."  [+]  Reply

"Is it a perfect album? By no means. Legendary? Definitely not. But is it by far Kesha's best album and another virtual 180 by an artist? 100% Yes. I don't know what more to ask for from her. It's definitely important for feminism to be quite honest. What she's been through has clearly had an effe..."  [+]  Reply
